My Regimen

This will probably change in a matter of days, but I'm going to tell y'all anyway!

Shampoo-ing: I haven't really figured out how much I should do this yet. My hair really likes the co-washing. If my hair feels gross, I'll "poo" otherwise, co-washing is my new bff.

Co-Wash Days: Co-Washing every other day with Organix Passionfruit Guava.
Finger comb and lightly pat dry. Apply Hair Milk by Carol's Daughter then mix jojoba, castor, and peppermint oils in order to seal in moisture. I can only go a day without co-washing my hair, any longer and my hair/scalp starts to revolt.

Deep Conditioning: Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Deep Replenishing Conditioner. I leave it in my hair for about an hour. My hair was extremely soft and moisturized after using this, I will buy more. It also smells really really good!

Every other day: Wet with water then apply hair milk and seal with mixed oils (above).I made a spritz that I only used two days lol. It's made with water, jojoba oil, coconut oil, castor oil, rosemary essential oil, lavender essential oil, and aloe vera juice. My hair just wasn't feeling it, so I'm going to only use lavender, rosemary, aloe vera juice, and water and see how the works instead. Nighttime: Apply Hair Butter by Carol's Daughter and peppermint oil to seal. I put a silk cap on to protect my hair at night or when I'm laying down on a pillow (I try to anyway).

Styling: I've only used Isoplus Styling Gel for two days; I'm going to make my own hair gel later today (I'll let you know how it works out).

Combing: Once a week on a co-wash day.

Things I want to try: Honey as a deep conditioner, Olive Oil as a moisturizer, Shea Butter as a moisturizer/making my own shea butter moisturizer, and/or Giovanni hair line.

My tips: Put castor oil on your edges/ temples (if your hair likes castor oil). It helps it (your hair) lay flat and supposedly helps with hair growth.

Any tips to share? Let me know :)
